Is funny launching bannable?

For the sake of shenanigans (trust me it'll be funny when I'm not trying to sink you or something shady) how would one funny launch. Like how rowboats teleport several yards/meters away if you die.

Not every glitch is bannable. If everyone can do something easily and it doesnt give some major advantage over all, then you are probably fine, but if its clearly unfair or highly advantageous, maby best to keep away from it.

@goldsmen Well, it does give an advantage of course. As you said though everyone can do it. It is not an unfair advantage because both crews are always able to do it.

Everyone can functionally do every exploit that comes from simple bugs, but if something is exceedingly hard to do, or most people have no clue how to do it, that isnt the same as everyone being able to do it, just because technically everyone can.

@goldsmen Double gunning is pretty hard to pull off and most people don't know how to do it.

And that is a feature that is intended, not a glitch. Anyone can equip 2 guns, its incomparable to some one using something clearly not intended that boarders some kind of line.

@goldsmen It wasn't intended, they removed it but brought it back again.

If it was brought back, i think that means that means it is intended, as far as i understand it, the first time it was removed was due to reception about it as a feature. Either way, all i will say is just dont use the exploit in question since you are unsure, its better to regret not doing it sooner if it is allowed later, rather than be banned because you did it sooner and found that its not permitted.

Pretty sure this “keg rock” thing is just where you find all the kegs and put them in the rock wall down the left ramp from the top and lead the boss over to it and shoot one so they all explode on him and he dies instantly.

If it’s something different, let me know… but keg rock isn’t an exploit. It doesn’t give any kind of advantage, just is a convenient place to stack the kegs. I used to stack the kegs on the bridge in the center and lead him over it to shoot them. On normal forts I have other strategic places I stack kegs to lead the boss to. So unless you mean something else that allows the kegs to somehow damage the boss more than they normally would, this isn’t an exploit.

The funny launch is a ladder glitch and it falls much closer to the sword lunge that eventually got added. They won’t add this ladder glitch officially, I’m sure, as it’s very fiddly and doesn’t really combine consistently with normal play. Not all exploits are bannable, but it’s best to avoid the ones you suspect might get you in trouble.

Not sure why you are even comparing it to keg rock tbh. One is to complete pve event faster, other one is one of the most exploitative glitches in the game that gives insane advantages in pvp.

Also not everyone can do it as it is directly tied to your fps.

Personally I think it should be ban worthy exploit.

"Keg Rock"

This is a rock wall on FotD that players can use to stack several gunpowder barrels at, but also make them practically un-grabbable by hand. It essentially helps trivialize an already trivialized boss fight while also undoing the risk of having your ship sneakily blown up by tuckers with the idea to use the fort against you.

As far as I'm concerned, it's fair enough game and forces tuckers to play much more carefully around a crew that might know a thing or two.

"Funny launching"

As much as I've learned about this, this appears to be a sloop/brigantine exclusive issue where using your ship's ladders in an awkward way can result in your launching extremely far from your ship without the need to climb into your ship's cannon. Which some might find useful to get a surprise broad on an unsuspecting crew. This is not something I would support as it can completely destroy proper boarder defense preparations due to the lack of any notification that someone is trying to board you before they reach your ladder.

That is an actual exploit which needs looking into.

The being said, the report system is such an unfortunate joke that whether you do these things or not really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. You're worried that doing FotD quicker could be a cheating exploit because tuckers can't use the fort's kegs against you, I personally do not think that is a big deal. "Funny Launching" on the other hand is something that's worth reporting, and "bigger content creators" aren't doing that intentionally. Most partners, since they're already involved in PvP mostly, are usually the first and highest priority to report to Rare about certain glitches and exploits, and whether or not to use them on stream. If they're not a partner, they probably don't know or care about certain exploits being a serious problem, and their fate is bound to come to them eventually.
